Medina Garrigues has now won six WTA Tour titles
|
Defending champion Anabel Medina Garrigues won the Palermo International for a record fourth time when she beat Italy's Tathiana Garbin 6-4 6-4.
It was the Spaniard's third straight victory at the Sicilian clay-court tournament which she also won in 2001.
Wildcard Garbin raced to 3-0 in the first set before second seed Medina Garrigues battled back to win it 6-4.
The second seed then broke Garbin early in the second and secured victory with a sublime cross-court forehand winner.
It was Medina Garrigues' second tournament victory this year and sixth WTA Tour title overall.
"I played a good game and did well at the important moments not to allow my opponent back into the game," she said.
